Mr. Liebeler.

Was that different from what the other students wore?

Mrs. Smith.

Yes. Well, they more or less wore slacks, you know, pants or khakis.

Mr. Liebeler.

Was Lee ever criticized or given a hard time because of the way he dressed or the way he----

Mrs. Smith.

No; not that I remember.

Mr. Liebeler.

Do you remember that Lee was ever bullied or pushed around by the other boys for any reason?

Mrs. Smith.

No; not that I remember.

Mr. Liebeler.

There isn't anything that stands out in your mind about Lee Oswald that really would set him apart from the other students is there, or----

Mrs. Smith.

Well, I can just remember him walking, like down the hall in school, and he would just walk like he was proud, you know, just show his back and--but there isn't anything other than that fight. I think that is what made me remember him the most.

Mr. Liebeler.

Do you know whether people thought that he was peculiar or arrogant because of this way in which he carried himself and the way in which he walked?

Mrs. Smith.

No, He never did mingle with anyone, you know. I guess they Just more or less left him alone, unless if he ever started a fight with them or ----

Mr. Liebeler.

Did you ever hear of Lee starting a fight with anybody?

Mrs. Smith.

No.

Mr. Liebeler.

You don't know how this fight----

Mrs. Smith.

I don't know how this fight started, I really don't. Like I say, I saw a group of people standing around, and when I went to see, they were fighting, but I really----

Mr. Liebeler.

Have you talked to Voebel at all about this?

Mrs. Smith.

No, sir; I haven't seen him--gee, I guess since I graduated from Beauregard.

Mr. Liebeler.

Now where is Beauregard Junior High School located?

Mrs. Smith.

On Canal Street, but I don't know the address. It is near the end of the streetcar line, near the cemeteries, across the street from St. Anthony's Church.

Mr. Liebeler.

Is it near the downtown section of Canal Street, or is it out farther?

Mrs. Smith.

No; well, it is further down.

Mr. Liebeler.

Approximately how far would it be from where we are now?

Mrs. Smith.

Oh, it is all the way down at the other end of Canal Street mean, you know how it is? The river is down here [indicating]. Well, it is on the other side of town.

Mr. Liebeler.

Quite a way from here?

Mrs. Smith.

Oh, yes, sir. I mean, you take the streetcar and you ride practically to the end of the line.

Mr. Liebeler.

Before you got to Beauregard?

Mrs. Smith.

It is about three blocks from the end of the line, the end of the streetcar line.

Mr. Liebeler.

So it would be several miles from here, would it not?

Mrs. Smith.

Yes, sir; I guess--let's see--it must be about the 4000 or 6000 block, something like that, of Canal Street.

Mr. Liebeler.

In the 6000 block?

Mrs. Smith.

I think so. I am not sure.

Mr. Liebeler.

This is Beauregard we are talking about?

Mrs. Smith.

Beauregard; yes.

Mr. Liebeler.

Can you tell me the area the people that went to Beauregard Junior High School came from? Was it Just the area surrounding the school, or did they come from all parts of New Orleans, or just how did they decide who was to go to that high school?

Mrs. Smith.

Each high school has its own district, so that the people that lived in Lakeview went to Beauregard. If you lived in Gentilly, you couldn't go to Beauregard unless you got a permit from the school board.
